George Clooney's 'Ides of March' could be the most under-appreciated movie of the year. In 20 years they're gonna go back and say 'Oh that was American politics in that time period.' I follow politics I love it and that movie is so authentic.

You know the media and politicians are always gonna be in a bit of tension with one another and probably most of the time that's healthy and indeed even creative. But it's where - it's really when news organisations are used as kind of instruments of politics that it gets tricky.

There ain't no answer. There ain't gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That's the answer.

I thought we were gonna open up the world of poetry and music to all kinds of things and yet I can't really think of anyone who's done anything like it since.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

City people live the city. We live in L.A. New York we live in places where it's chaotic and you never know what's gonna happen. And that's the music - you never know what's gonna happen.

I never wanted to do the same kind of movies over and over anyway so my theory on it all is I'm just gonna try and dodge the label and keep doing what I am doing.

I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?

Homey don't quit. What else are you gonna do? It's like those guys in the cartoon they get up in the morning check the clock and fight all day and after it's over they check the clock and go home. That's how it goes.

I had this temp receptionist job in New York and I kind of hated it and in the morning I would come out of the subway and just walk along the New York streets with all these people around me and kind of sing to myself. Like 'She's gonna make it!'
